If you are quick and secure this lovely 31 acre property you will be able to enjoy taking a dip in beautiful Lake Nillahcootie this summer. Or maybe you want to take your boat out and catch some fish for dinner. Come home to chill out on the lovely big front deck overlooking the lake, enjoy a nice cold beverage and watch the sun set behind the Strathbogie Ranges. Does this sound like the country life you have been dreaming about?
This really is a remarkable part of the world. So peaceful yet only 15 minutes from the booming regional town of Mansfield and about 30 minutes to the Hume Freeway and Benalla.
A modern take on the traditional Australian homestead, the recently completed custom built home is not huge but that is part of its appeal. The clever floorplan has been designed to make it easy to extend the home in the future if you need more accommodation. We love the timber decks on either side of the house, with a wide verandah on the North side designed to provide shade in summer and allow the winter sun to stream in and warm the living areas. There's also 2 powerful reverse cycle air-conditioners, a stylish and efficient Euro wood heater and excellent insulation. The stand alone (off grid) solar system means you never have to pay a power bill and there's over 100,000 litres of rainwater storage so you don't need to worry about water either. And talking about water, there's a beautiful swimming spot a few minutes away on Lake Nillahcootie...and plenty of fish to catch too!
Every good country home needs a great shed and that box is definitely ticked here. It's big (7.5m x 18m) with a wide high clearance roller door so you can park your big boat, caravan, motor home or truck with ease!
Children can catch the bus to school in either Mansfield or Benalla...and keep their ponies and other four legged friends in the 3 paddocks, all with established trees for shade and shelter. There's a nice big dam in the front paddock and a lovely seasonal creek in the far back paddock. There's also a horse shelter and yard, a brilliant chicken coop and pen, fruit trees and raised veggie beds, as well as the obligatory wood shed. Cattle and sheep roaming the neighbouring farms enhance the bucolic bliss!
